EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and evocative WW2 greetings card created by Hungarian-born artist Joseph Bato in circa 1942. This official war picture, now held in the National Gallery's collection, offers a glimpse into the indomitable spirit of Londoners during the Blitz. The image captures a bustling London street, where life continues amidst the devastation of war. Debris from bombed buildings fills the foreground, yet the scene is far from desolate. People are seen going about their daily business, carrying on with a sense of determination and optimism. A woman in a red coat walks confidently along the pavement, while a man in a bowler hat and umbrella checks his mailbox. A young boy, wearing a gas mask, plays with a toy soldier on the sidewalk. Bato's use of color and composition adds to the card's impact. The vibrant reds, blues, and greens of the people's clothing and the blue sky contrast sharply with the muted tones of the damaged buildings, creating a striking visual juxtaposition. The diagonal composition of the street and the placement of the figures draw the viewer's eye through the scene, inviting further exploration. This WW2 greetings card, titled "London Carries On," is a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during the darkest days of the Second World War. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and adapt, even in the face of adversity. The card's historical significance and artistic merit make it a valuable addition to the National Gallery's collection and a fascinating glimpse into the 1940s.
